The new Shimano Aerlex XSA is a tough reel fitted with Instant Drag designed for heavy duty work. The metallic blue body and silver detail combine to produce a modern look and the superb Aero Wrap II line lay with 2 speed oscillation, combined with the AR-C spool produces the excellent casting performance required by surf anglers. A high torque 4.6:1 retrieve ratio gives the Aerlex the power to deal with heavy leads over rough ground. The reel can also be used for spodding on inland waters.

Fishing Republic dates back to 1985 when the company’s founder and Executive Director, Steve Gross, established a business selling fishing flies and fly tying materials to fishing tackle wholesalers. In 2005, Fishing Republic opened our first store in Barnsley. Since then the company has grown to be the Largest Fishing Tackle retailer in the UK.

With the extensive angling knowledge within our company and the exceptional customer service we offer both in store and online, it’s clear to see why Fishing Republic is Number 1.
